That was shoddy from you. I get that you're anti anything 'progressive' even when it used to be 'conservative' but can we atleast pretend to want real facts and not bullshit smear campaigns?
That's the way they work. That's all they have left.
What you did just now is the equivalent to what Perry and Romney have been doing with "Obama said Americans are lazy".. no he didn't, they just took that clip and edited it down to make it seem like he did..pretty nefarious there and it makes the GOP field look so petty and weak.
The "Obama says American's are lazy spiel is the most sickening thing I've heard in years. Especially since Romney actually said it in his
book.
“We have been accustomed to being the world’s leading nation for so long, enjoying the freedom, security, and prosperity that comes with that leadership, that we have tended to avoid the hard work that overcoming challenges requires. When I was about ten, I asked my dad how he thought his company’s Rambler automobile could ever successfully compete with General Motors; they were so far ahead that catching up appeared impossible. He said something that has since been widely attributed to him: “There is nothing as vulnerable as entrenched success.” I believe that our many years of success may, in fact, be the greatest obstacle we face. In election after election, candidates have told us that simple measures will solve our challenges, and that their election alone will guarantee a bright future. We have joined in the cheering for this heady prospect. But much more than cheering is going to be required in the years ahead.”
Not to mention
Paul Ryan, who said the same thing a couple of days ago:
I hear from so many businesses these days that actually we can hire people but we can't find people with the skills. And that's a big deal.
Part of it is the culture of people just having no work ethic — coming to work on time and all those issues — and when people are out of work for more than year, their skills really start to atrophy. That's what's really terrible about this.
and...
Education is at the heart of it all, but the culture is, too. Moral relativism has done so much damage to the bottom end of this country, the bottom fifth has been damaged by the culture of moral relativism more than by anything else, I would argue. If you ask me what the biggest problem in America is, I'm not going to tell you debt, deficits, statistics, economics — I'll tell you it's moral relativism.
